Caribbean Cruise

During my recent trip to the US in January, my partner and I have, for the 5th consecutive year, joined 3300 other guys on the Atlantis Caribbean Cruise. This time we met some really interesting journalists from OutTraveller, TIMM TV, New York Times and Out&About, just to quote a few, invited by Stephen Roth (yellow t-shirt) to attend the cruise. The picture show me (right from the second officer) with some of the journalist on a private visit to the Freedom of the Sea's bridge.

We were all surprised how computerized the bridge is. The large room looks like a lounge and most of the crew has a supervisory role other than physically controlling the ship, which is by the way, the world's largest cruise liner.

We've book our cruise for next year once more and will be soon in London to attend Community Marketing's seminar on GLBT travel... watch this space for more news on it!
